Tuscola, April 8.—With the death of Miss Minnie Jordan of Camargo in Kankakee Wednesday, a most pitiful story Is ended. Miss Jordan was 47 years old. She had always been weak-minded. Recently she has been entirely helpless and unable to do anything for herself. This necessitated constant and close care on the part of her relatives. Her mother's prayer was that she might outlive her afflicted daughter and care for her until the end. This was denied her, but her sister was most self-sacrificing and kind. She cared for her until a month ago when it became essential that she be sent to the asylum.

The body will be taken to Camargo for burial, passing through Tuscola Friday.
